As an artist, Anne Ormsby paints from her heart and her life; se paints unique concepts meant for trend-seeking licensing markets. Anne has licensed her artwork since 1999. To date, she has worked with more than 60 companies to create products that are sold worldwide. Also, she has had the pleasure of completing many private commissions for those who want original art. Anne lives in coastal California where she’s surrounded by friends and a large family that provides her with a creative climate full of topics and colorful opportunities. She has always loved bold, vibrant design, and clear, bright color. She varies mediums based on the project or the effect desired by her or by her clients. She frequently combines mediums like ink and watercolor, or oil pastel and watercolor for interest. A signature element on all my licensed products is a whimsical viewpoint is. She also works on commission, and she’s always happy to discuss original artwork.
